It is one of the oldest establishments in Japan, boasting a history of over 400 years, and was originally a sake shop in Edo (the old name of Tokyo). It is said to be the origin of the “izakaya” culture by the fact that it served snacks along with sake. Recently, the shop was revived and is promoting the “food culture of Edo-Tokyo.” It began sake brewing in the Meiji era, and the sake is characterized by its profound flavor and good finish. Its “Kinkon,” a “Tokyo local sake,” is known as the sacred sake for famous shrines such as Meiji Jingu, and it continues to uphold its prestige and tradition.
